He has returned (Gravity Falls fanfiction)

chapter sixteen

As soon as the teenagers had left the Shack, Melody went straight to Ford. She did not knock on his door and slammed her hands on the office desk:" Who is that boy?". Melody was visibly angry.

"Melody, dear, please sit down and I will calmly explain everything to you.", Ford said, gestured to the chair infront of him, folded his hands and leaned over the table. His tired eyes now looked slightly over his glasses, his never really meeting Melodys gaze.

"I know you are very intelligent. Do you have any idea?", Ford asked.

"Either he was just born a day ago and that is why he doesnt know how to do anything or that boy is not a human boy. I dont care what it is but I want to know where you found him, from who you have gotten him and why he is here!"

"He is not human, or now he is but for a long time he wasnt. And I think his name tells you everything you need to know about him", Ford looked directly at her. He had expected Melody to be surprised or in shock, but neither of these emotions matched her face. It was interest and curiosity. He had know that Melody had know and that due to the name, her suspicions had grown even more. Maybe they had to change Bills name so nobody else would find out this fast. On the other hand he doubted that any other citizen of Gravity Falls was smart enough to put one and one together like that.

"Tell me everything!", she said, now a bit calmer. He explained the whole story to her. Still, she did not act surprised, she really had guessed something like this was happening. She had learned about Gravity Falls and that nothing was ever what it seemed.

"Thank you for telling me Ford. I have had the idea that something like this would happen. I am not a psychic person but while you were gone on the sea I have had enough time to wander around in the beautiful forests. You know, I have found Bills statue. It was a chaotic energy, the air buzzing but no animals or insects were around. All stones were formed like triangles, the trees had carving in them with eyes. And I dont mean the eyes that trees normally tend to have. They were covered, destroyed. The grass was yellowish and the statue glowed in this weird electric something. I then realized that the demon Bill Cipher was not dead and that he would sooner or later return. I would have just wished that we were long dead by then. And I expected his normal form, if I am honest."

"That is... interesting. I will visit the staue myself when I get the time and hope to find some answers.", Melody nodded in agreement.

"But be careful!", she added, "When I was there I was tempted to shake his hand and could not move for a long time. You should take Stanley with you so neither of you get enticed."

"Thank you Melody for your insights.", Ford said.

"Of course. I will care for him like a mother would and I hope that I succeed. And I think you should be a lot nicer to him too! Violence wont work with him, he will just copy that behaviour because he will get the illusion that all humans are violent. I dont say that he isnt right with that, but then we can be the exception.", she added.

"He is a demon, Melody and I will treat him like one. He does not deserve my kindness."

Melody sighed:" I hope you also learn how to be a better human.". She left the office.

When Wendy and Dipper returned to the others Mabel had just finished introducing Waddles to Bill. The boy has never been more glad to see Dipper because another word about that pig would make him throw up. It smelled, was too loud and also way too fat for a pig. And it was too happy for his liking. Nothing should be this happy, ever.

"Hey guyssss!", Mabel smiled widely, "whats up?"

"Nothing, we just talked about this game theory, you have no idea about, its called Minesweeper and yeah", Dipper was just fishing words out from somewhere inside his brain. Little did he know that that just made Bill remember something.

"What? Mindsweeper? You actually know that game?", he asked, he eyes lighting up, "I invented that game in the 1980s!". It was designed to erase the memories of the people that played it. Then there was no way Dipper really knew about it or had ever really played it.

"Uhhh I mean MINEsweeper.", Dipper answered, his eyes narrowed. What was Cipher talking about, inventing a game? There was no way he had done something like that.

"You made a game? Thats so cool! You'll have to show it to me some day!", Wendy intervented. She had no clue what Bill had meant with 'inventing it in the 1980s' but it sounded cool. She had to admit that this kid was kind of impressive, even though she had no idea where these thoughts came from. They felt like somebody threw them into her mind. In all, her vision had been blurry ever since getting into the car and her head felt heavy and dizzy. She couldnt think straigt.

"Sure I will, sweetie!", Bill replied, winking at her. For whatever reason she blushed. She did not feel like herself around the new boy. That Dipper might be right about Bill did not even cross her mind once and normally she never not believed Dipper after all that they had been through together. She was in her dream world already.

"Tell me more about you. What are your hobbies?", Wendy asked.

Bill had to think about this for a while. He did not have any human hobbies, so he replied with the first thing that came to his mind:" Eating chocolate, probably.", he shrugged.

"What a coincidence! Me too!", she laughed sweetly, falling deeper and deeper into a trance like state. She felt like she had just smoked too much weed or something and couldnt contorl her body anymore.

Dipper has had enough and Mabel had also realized that something was heavily off. Wendy had once told her that she never really liked chocolate or sweet things in general. It also looked like her eyes were underlined in green. The twins looked at each other, not knowing what to do. Mabel inched closer to her brother, never taking an eye of the two others. They were visibly flirting, Bills smile widening with every sentence and Wendys eyes closing more and more. It was bizarre to look at and even a bit scary.

"What are we going to do?", Dipper whispered. He would have done anything to make this stop but as long as he could still stay rational he would.

"Wasnt there a water bottle in Wendys car? Why dont you get that and splash that over her. I think that would help and if not she will at least have to go home and change.", Mabel suggested. Dipper did not quite like the idea and would have rather splashed the water in Bills face, or better, beat his face, but it was the best he could do. He rushed to the car as fast as he could. For his luck Wendy had left the windows down so the car wouldnt heat up too much. He grabbed inside and groped for the water bottle, running back immidietly. When he arrived back, he had already unscrewed the cap and was ready to shoot. Wendys and Bills faces were only inches apart and Mabel watched in horror.

Bill on the other hand was living his best life. He did not know exactly why his lips wanted to touch hers but he had nothing against it. From the beginning he had know that this redhead was going to fall for him. In general, everyone would fall for him. He was just so desired by everyone and nobody could tell him no. He had already wrapped Wendy around his finger, he was sure of that. Just one inch closer and she would be his puppet forever.

Thats when the water hit.
